Live in the heart of the university experience
kings.uwo.ca/residence
Your home away from home. Residence is more than just a convenient place to live - it’s a vibrant, supportive community. The residence life program at King’s offers transitional and academic support to help you meet your university goals. King’s Residence is committed to the values of diversity, respect and academic achievement.
Room Assignments King’s offers both single (limited number) and double rooms. Room assignments are based on the preferences and lifestyle information you provide in your residence application; you can request a specific roommate too. We know the idea of living with a new roommate may make some students a little nervous and Residence staff are here to support you in that relationship. We facilitate a roommate agreement process shortly after move in to help you and your roommate discuss some key areas of shared living. While the majority of residents enjoy a good living arrangement with their roommates, sometimes problems can arise, and residence staff are here to help should that occur. ROOM STYLES:

Many King’s students chose to move off-campus and share living space with other students after first-year, so developing the skills to live successfully with others is a good investment in your future. Living in a supportive residence environment with a roommate is a good way to build those skills.

Mentors also provide guidance on how to successfully transfer to university from high school. Conceived as a student run mentoring program housed under the auspices of the Vice Principal Academic, it is designed to entice exemplary students to seek opportunities of volunteerism at King’s. It provides an opportunity for senior students to give back to the King’s community and guide younger students in their journey through academia. www.kings.uwo.ca/kamp Student rights and responsibilities: The King’s College Code of Student Conduct articulates the philosophy of the College and behavioural standards for the student community. All students should be familiar with the Code of Conduct which is available at www.kings.uwo.
Orientation: We encourage all students who are new to King’s to participate in Orientation week activities the first week of September. Academic program information, academic resource information sessions, tours of campus, and a variety of social and entertainment events at King’s and Western are all part of the week’s activities. My King’s Experience Western’s Co-Curricular Record: Your transcript only tells part of the story of your university experience. My King’s Experience - Western’s Co-Curricular Record - tells the rest of the story of your involvement and out-of-classroom development. It is an official document of your involvement in campus events, activities and leadership roles – everything from one hour workshops to yearlong leadership positions. It is an invaluable addition to your resume, portfolio, or grad school application.
